Q: How will you celebrate Christmas here in China?
(If you observe this holiday)
Will you do anything Christmas related?
Sing a carol, a hymn, or listen to the Chipmunks or an Elvis Christmas song? Will you watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, etc.
Or just enjoy the day off?
Merry Christmas.
My celebration will be done in advance, by getting on a plane and going home. Yippee! 
But, I do feel for those stuck here during the holidays. If it were me, I'd find one of those nice western/expat restaurants that will serve a nice Christmas dinner and splurge. Luckily for me though, I'll have access to Mom's cooking 
As a Secular Humanist my wife and I will buy our daughter some presents (from Santa) and put them under the Christmas tree (Pagan), which she will open on Christmas day (pagan / pre-historical date). I will have one day off work.
That is all.
Probably won't celebrate, it's not the same feel as back home. The atmosphere is totally different..
Wont be celebrating this year, well not Dec 25th anyway
I go home for a holiday in February, and all my family are celebrating Christmas in February with me.
So Christmas in china will be working as usual i think, not been told if we have a day off or not.
sure won't be drinking egg-nog. gross!

Createach:

Crack open a bottle of Jamesons' whiskey bought in Dublin and enjoy the time with my friends here.
Will probably end up eating a few apples too.
Teaching. Dec 25 falls on a work day.

This song is so stupid, but it really cracks me up. The music video is hilarious.
After reading the comments I realize how lucky I am. I have Christmas Eve and Christmas off, going to Sanya and spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Dinner at the Dolphin Sports Bar for 119rmb . Also my son is here, so Christmas with family for first time in 6 years, my wife and a couple of friends. Looking forward to Christmas for 1st time in a couple of years.

I've arranged a small party with a few close friends at my flat on Christmas Eve. We plan to indulge in a few too many glasses of vino, exchange gifts and watch 'Bad Santa' on the flat-screen. I can't wait to see reaction of the Chinese girls ! 
Go Billy Bob !
as the evening winds down I'll play my mp3 collection of Christmas Classics. (yes, Bing Crosby & Elvis...)
Will cancel my one class I have for that day, and book a room at the Holiday Inn here in Nanyang where they will host a special Christmas dinner with entertainment, and give away special discounts to Holiday Inn (anywhere China) deals. All the foreign teachers here had our Thanksgiving dinner party there. IT WAS GREAT!!!
Class will be given survey homework due the following week for class discussion.
You guys seem so excited lol.
I hate X-mas...and even here I went shopping the other day and had to hear Jingle bells and I wish you a Merry X-mas, one after another on repeat for 1 hour...
I'm glad not home to freeze my ass off too
probably with by country mates and some of other friends of mine here,though not the same as home but trying to create a new family and make myself feel at home when abroad.
it's certainly gonna be fantastic, I did the same last year
